Three Famous New Apples 
..4.. 
REID’S NURSERIES, UPLAND, OHIO 
APPLES. 
The first fruit, both In Importance and general culture, Is the Apple. Its period, unlike that of other 
fruits, extends nearly or quite through the year. By planting judicious selections of summer, autumn and winter 
sorts, a constant succession of 
this indispensable fruit can be 
easily obtained for family use. 
There is no farm crop which, 
on the average, will produce 
one-fourth as much income per 
acre as will a good Apple 
orchard. 
BISMARCK. 
This most valuable new 
Apple, introduced from New 
Zealand a few years ago, 
through the agency of a cele- 
brated arboretum in Germany, 
promises to take the place of 
almost every other Apple 
grown in this country and 
abroad. It has already been 
fully tested in Russia, Ger- 
many, France, England, United 
States and Canada; and wher- 
ever grown it has proved a 
most astonishing revelation, 
not only in high quality, but 
also In hardiness, and espe- 
cially In earliness of fruiting. 
The color of the fruit is a beau- 
tiful golden yellow, and its size 
is the largest. The trees bear 
most profusely, and the showy 
fruits are eagerly sought after, 
always bringing the highest 
market price. Bismarck trees 
bear at an earlier age than any 
other Apple, and the fruit keeps 
well into March. As a dessert 
Apple it has no equal, owing to its distinct and most delicious flavor. It bears fruit when only one or two years 
old, and it has been grown in large quantities as a pot-plant for table and greenhouse decoration. Two vears, 
first-class, 50 cts. each, $5 per dozen; medium, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.; small, postpaid, 25 cts. each. ^ 
Bismarck Apple. 
STARR. 
Has proved a very desirable, reliable and valuable market Apple, and is now offered after several years of 
thorough testing in comparison with other best early market Apples. It always brings 25 to 50 per cent more 
than other Apples In market, and sells readily at $l per half-bushel basket. The tree is a good, healthy 
grower, comes to fruiting young, and is an abundant and healthy bearer, though heavier 
on the alternate year. The fruit is very large, showy, pale green, frequently with a hand- 
some blush on sunny side; pleasant subacid. Very early, marketable first week in July, 
and will continue in good condition until September, being an excellent shipper for so 
early an Apple; has carried to California in excellent condition. A very superior 
cooking and a good eating Apple. Price, first-class, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.; medium, 
35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 
WALTER PEASE. 
This is one of the best Apples we know. It much resembles the Baldwin in color and 
productiveness. Size very large. The fruit is very showy and attractive, and as a table 
Apple, we think, has no superior. Fruit nearly round; color a beautiful deep red on sunny 
side, with splashes and stripes of red on yellow ground on other side; where fully exposed 
to sun, nearly all red. Ripens in September, October and November; has been kept until past midwinter. Core 
very small; flesh white, very fine-grained; quality best, mild, juicy, slightly subacid, with a rich, sweet, aromatic 
flavor. Tree very productive, fruiting heavily; strong and vigorous grower. A delicious table Apple for either 
market or home use. First-class, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.; medium, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz.; second-class, 
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
